Mantyhose

Because I had to see it, now you have to. MANTYHOSE. It is just what it sounds like. pantyhose for men.

The ONLY reason I can think of that this would be cool is if you are a dude that plays roller derby (Shout out to Indy's own Race City Rebels). But not many men out there are. If you need extra giggles Click Here for a step by step guide to putting on your Mantyhose. It may as well be entitled: Just watch some chick do it. But seeing a dude bunch up some nude pantyhose to slide up his leg is quite possibly the oddest thing I have ever seen.

Lowering Your Standards

I was lamenting to a friend the lack of good men to date when he suggested I date one of his friends. I replied that I had no interest in dating a dude that used to mow lawns and now works at the Verizon store and didn't have a degree. My friend went on this big, long spiel about how women were more educated than men nowadays and that I should realize how it is less likely statistically that I would find a dude with a college education. He suggested I look into dating dudes who did not have a degree.

I won't even talk to mother fuckers with Associates degrees.

I'm not hatin. I've tried it before. I've dated a dude who worked at a gas station and a dude who was a plumber. Those relationships were disastrous because even when men lacking one say they aren't-they are threatened by your college degree. I made more money than both of them. I paid for dates. That is emasculating, I imagine. So, already there is this tension.

And I got really bored with these dudes.

Plus, I want to be stable when I grow up. I don't need to be rich. I just want to be able to go on vacation sometimes. I want a pool, doesn't even have to be in ground. A mother fucker working at the Verizon store is not going to help me pay for that.

I don't think that is too much to ask for. Fuck a lowered standard (Until I am 35).

Idiocracy

Sorry about the subtitles, I couldn't find a version without them. But if you haven't seen this movie, you should. Here is the opening scene, because it is hilarious.

The Movement to Weiner Vitter

So, I was reading some stuff on Talking Points Memo (I read all this so you don't have to) and was pleased to find an article entitled: Christian Conservative Group Demands Vitter's Resignation, Says GOP 'Committing Outright hypocrisy' By Letting Him Stay.

Can I just say-Yay? Not only has the conservative Family Policy Network called for his resignation, but so has Bill O'Reilly. Michael Steele admitted to inconsistencies between the way his party reacted to the Weiner scandal (cracks me up every time) and how they reacted to Vitter's name appearing 3 times on the D.C. Madam's call list. Even Andrew Brietbart, the guy who broke the Weiner story, has criticized Senator Vitter and the party's continued support of him. John Boehner gave to Vitter's reelection campaign in 2010 and also publicly called for Weiner's resignation. Hypocritical much?

The past couple of weeks I have been issuing the same complaint when talking about the resignation of Rep. Weiner-If they (Republicans) get to keep Vitter, we should get to keep Weiner. VITTER USED PROSTITUTES. Comparatively, some dick pics sent over social media seem pretty innocuous.

I genuinely hope that Vitter gets Weinered (haha, never, never gets old). 

And, as an aside, if your last name was Weiner and you were a somewhat well known, married, politician-WHY WOULD YOU SEND DICK PICS? That is just asking for trouble and way too easy for people to make jokes about when you get caught.

This is Awesome

Here is a link to the full article: David Hart, British Marine Killed in Afghanistan, Leaves Las Vegas Vacation Worth $150,000 to Friends

To sum it up: this Marine took out a $400,000 (ok, it was pounds, but that makes no since to us Americans) life insurance policy before leaving for Afghanistan. He stipulated that should he die $160,000 would go to his family, $90,000 to a charity for disabled Marines and $150,000 would go towards a Las Vegas vacation for his friends and their girlfriends. He was killed by a roadside bomb.

I have an enormous about of respect for anyone that serves in any branch of the military. My dad was a Vietnam veteran. This story was touching. I think sometimes when we see that troops were killed, we let it go by, forgetting that these are actual people, with friends and family, who are exhibiting an incredible amount of compassion by putting their lives on the line and fighting wars (whether you agree with them or not) so that you don't have to.

Words cannot describe the awesomeness that is leaving money for a vacation for your friends in your will.

Rick Santorum is Against ALL Abortion.....Except When He Isn't

Rick Santorum, former Senator from Pennsylvania, hates abortion. A lot. Here is what he said about it in a June 12th appearance on Meet the Press:

“Do you believe there should be legal exceptions for rape and incest when it comes to abortion?” NBC’s David Gregory asked Santorum.

“I believe that life begins at conception and that life should be guaranteed under the Constitution,” Santorum replied.

“Even in the case of rape or incest? That would be taking a life?” Gregory pressed.

“That would be taking a life,” Santorum agreed. “I believe that any doctor who performs an abortion — I would advocate that any doctor who performs an abortion should be criminally charged for doing so. I have never supported criminalization of abortion for mothers, but I do for people who perform them.”

He also bragged in last week's CNN debate that he had "taken bullets" for the Pro-life cause. Never mind that actual providers of abortion have actually been shot and killed. Santorum probably just sees it as vigilante justice.

The liberal blogosphere has been blowing up with this tidbit of knowledge I am about to drop on you: Rick Santorum's wife had an abortion to save her life. I do not say this to trivialize their no doubt painful experience of having to terminate a pregnancy at 20 weeks. Rather, I would like to point out the incredible amount of hypocrisy spewing from this guy when he  takes the stance that ALL abortions should be illegal-rape, incest and to save a mother's life included. The Santorums had the right to CHOOSE and the choice they made would be impossible if Mr. Santorum's vision for America's abortion law were realized. He would like to deny other families the right that he had-to choose to save his wife.

The satire blog Early Onset of Night put it like this:

“Abortion in any form is wrong,” said Santorum in 2000, three years after the tragedy. “Except for my wife. If your wife’s life was at stake and the only thing that could save her was an abortion, well, too bad. Your wife will have to die. It was different with my wife. You see, I love her. I don’t even know your wife’s name.”

Fuckin Republicans, man. 

A Chart Can Speak a Thousand Words

I don't feel the need to elaborate.
